None of us thought we'd be headed back to the Brigham & Women's Hospital again any time soon. But Elizabeth's fever spiked up to 103.8 earlier today, so the doctor wants her to go in for some IVs and observation. They say that the antibiotics they gave her should have already made her feel much better by now, so if she's still cycling in temperature and how she feels, it might be something else. So we're packing everyone up, and heading up to the Brigham (because that's the hospital where her doctors are admitted).
Last time we checked, her temperature was down to 102.5, but this morning it was down at 99. But then it went back up to the high 103s, and she seems to be going up and down roughly every four hours, so we'll go in just to be safe.
Unless they "admit" Dorothy to stay with Elizabeth at the hospital (assuming they do keep Eliz for 24 hours), I'll be bringing her back home this evening and watching her myself overnight. Yikes! My first time for handling all the night-time feedings. Wish us all luck!
